REGAN Sec relun LINDA CULPEPPER Mreefur Osvaldo Diaz 6211 Cabin Branch Drive Durham, North Carolina 27712 Dear Perrnittee: NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality May 3, 2019 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Single Family Wastewater Treatment System Facility Address: 4211 Aberdeen Dr Permit No. NCG551460 Durham County On April 26, 2019, Erin Deck and Zach Thomas from the Division of Water Resources (DWR) Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the above permit to discharge wastewater. The checked boxes below show what conditions were noted at your facility: ❑ In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank pumped out every 3 to 5 years. Your good record of operation and meeting the permit requirements is highly commended. ❑ Your home is improperly plumbed: Some of the wastewater discharges are going directly to the environment without first passing through the treatment system. This must be corrected immediately. Please submit a schedule to this office, within 20 days of receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency. The work is to be comi2leted within the next 3 months. ❑ Disinfection: Your system is lacking disinfection, either chlorine tablets or a W light system. New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a means of disinfection (and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if the system was installed since that date). Since your system had no disinfection, the installation is to include a chlorine tablet dispenser, a contact chamber capable of providing a minimum 30-minute contact time, and another tablet dispenser that will hold dechlorination tablets. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 calendar days of recei t of this Ietter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency. ® Treatment tablets missing or are wrong land: You are responsible for always having chlorine tablets and dechlorination tablets (if a required part of your system) in place. They must be the kind for wastewater treatment and not for swimming pools. er�l E�, North Caraiina Department of Environmental Qua'ity Division of Water Resources Raleigh Reg oval Office 3800 Barrett Drive 1628 Ma i Service Center Raleigh, North Carol na 27699 1628 919 791,4200 ❑ Dechlorination: Your system was installed after August 1, 2007, so must have a means of dechlorination located downstream of the chlorinator and its contact chamber. See Disinfection paragraph above. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 calendar days of recei t of this letter statin > our plan for correcting this deficiency. ® Pumping the septic tank: The septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years (for full time occupancy). A pumping company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is required. 2 Failure to analyze the effluent: The effluent that is discharged from your system must be analyzed once each year. See fart I(A) of your permit about his requirement. Please make arrangements for sampling to be carried out within the next 3 months and submit results to this office within 3 weeks after the sampling has been done. ❑ Locations of treatment units are unknown: The effluent pipe could not be located at the time of the inspection. Determine this and report to this office within 30 da s of recei t of this letter with a sketch or man. ❑ Other-. If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective action, please contact Erin Deck at 919-7914200. Licensed plumbers should be used to make plumbing changes within your home. Contractors for installing disinfection or other equipment may be found in the Yellow Pages under Environmental Consultants.
